Hemp is just now – FINALLY allowed to be grown again in the USA. However there is not yet any access to American-grown commercial hemp for use in making hemp wicks. Therefore we had to make our hemp wick in the #1 producer of hemp worldwide – China. The plants are sown, harvested, retted and dried in the traditional way, unchanged for thousands of years. We hope in the coming years to be able to switch to domestically grown hemp for our wicks and it is our commitment to be one of the first to do so In the meantime we insist that our hemp suppliers use sustainable growing techniques with no pesticides.

RAW® Hemp Wick™ is a natural alternative to butane lighters and matches. Hemp and beeswax are two primal renewable resources.
